Pink and Grey for Let's Craft and Create Challenge on the 5th of April, 2023

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog we have the optional theme of

Pink and Grey

As we are coming up to Easter, I immediately thought of a grey Easter Bunny with a pink egg! In 2020, Irina from La-La Land Crafts released an Easter Bunny digi freebie. Unfortunately it is no longer available, but I notice that the March 2021 release included the same bunny with Easter egg as a clear stamp in Oh, Crop! Clear Stamp Set.

So here is my card:

I have digitally printed the Easter Bunny digi from La-La Land Crafts with one of the sentiments a while ago on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured with Copic inks as follows:
  • bunny - C00, C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, R20, R30, colourless blender
  • egg - RV11, RV14, RV17, RV19
  • background - BG0000, BG000, BG01
  • outline - RV19
I have used a white gel pen and black glitter pen for the eyes and then pink and blue glitter pen for the sentiment.
I cut the image out with my paper cutter and then adhered to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.

Here is a close-up photo of the bunny during the colouring process and before he was adhered to the card:



As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and used some inspiration from the cards of the La-La Land Crafts Design Team on the La-La Land Crafts blog and Facebook.

I would like to enter this card into a few challenges:
